Welcome Bonus / Signing bonus - VP level
Potentially considering an offer from a smaller shop, $30B fund, VP level. Given the period,I believe that there is some ability to ask for a signing bonus or something similar (by another name perhaps) to compensate for this and make the hit less financially onerous in the short term. How does this...
Signing Bonus as an UG
Quick question for those who have already gone through the process: Recently accepted offer in an energy trading division for asset management firm in NYC.

Asking for Signing Bonus Upfront?
I'm a senior in college and I'm starting my FT role this summer. My contract dictates that my signing bonus will be paid along with my first paycheck, but I have a lot of upfront expenses related to moving (and potentially some travel before starting work) that I'll have to pay for before I receive...

Want to quit only 5 months in but can't afford to pay back signing bonus
Feel like these types of threads are popping up more frequently now for some reason. Long story short, I've realized investment banking isn't for me. I love the people I work with, and the culture in my group is fantastic. However, I've realized that I care too much about life outside of work, so I...
If CS pulls FT offers, do I get to keep my sign-on bonus?
Any legal minds out there who can read between the lines of a FT offer letter? It says if the candidate fails to join the bank by whatever date, the sign-on bonuses are subject to a clawback. But what happens if the bank pulls our offer as we approach our start date, do we get to keep our sign-ons?
MBB FT Signing Bonus Timeline?
Hey all, simple question that I was a little embarrassed (I felt it was improper? Maybe I'm weird lol) about asking the HR people at my firm. But in your experience, how long after signing your offer does your signing bonus get sent to you? I'm just wondering if I should expect it a little before my...
Signing Bonus
Any thoughts on minimum signing bonus at a Tier-1 direct lender for a (senior) associate position? There's no recruiter involved so keen to also hear thoughts if folks are generally willing to offer a higher welcome bonus because they don't have to pay a head hunter?

Hey, I’m a senior in college and I signed a full time investment banking offer with a non-us bank in NYC. Base is on par with what most other banks are now paying an1 but no signing or relocation bonus was offered. I tried negotiating but was unsuccessful and was told that was simply what was...
Are signing bonuses 10K before or after tax?
As question above is asking, is the 10K for a signing bonus taxed so we are only getting 7K, or are taxes already taken into consideration by the firm and we receive 10K after taxes? I have never heard until recently that its 10k after taxes and just wanted to check if that was the case.
Canadian IB - No Sign-on or Relocation Bonus with Fulltime Offer
I'm currently in my last year of university (target school) and received a full-time offer at a Big 5 bank (Toronto office) back in August/September and I didn't do a SA stint with them.

How does bonus repayment work?
Incoming analyst at an EB and have a clause in my employment contract that says I have to repay my signing bonus in gross if I leave the firm before 2024. Wondering how strictly banks hold to this and if they actually come after you if you leave earlier? Also is it standard to ask another employer...
Has anyone ever NOT received their signing bonus? (Full-Timers)
This is probably dumb, but I'm signed up for a boutique bank and supposed to receive a 20k signing bonus (10k upon signing, 10k upon starting). Maybe it's because I'm from small money and feel like it's too good to be true, but I'm curious if any bank has even skipped out on paying your signing...

When do banks pay associate sign-on bonus/relocation stipends?
I was fortunate enough to receive on offer after my summer this year. I am wondering when my bank would send me the sign-on bonus check? I've taken on $100k student loan for my MBA studies, have just enough cash left to get through my 2nd year at business school (very frugally), and was hoping I...
Left IB early - asking to repay signing bonus

Does MBB ever poach sponsored consultants by paying out MBA tuition costs?
Let's say you're attending an elite MBA program, with around $150k of tuition costs sponsored by a tier 2 consulting firm (think Deloitte, OY, S&, ATK). Would MBB consider offering a loaded sign-on bonus (covering 50%+ of tuition) to entice such a candidate? Curious to hear if this is a regular...

Not Paying Back Signing Bonus
Interesting thing I've heard in the past couple of months about not paying back a signing bonus without repercussions. Know 2 people who left early at my MM and they apparently just ignored all calls / emails about paying it back and didn't see anything negative come about from it (hated it so no...
Signing bonus lower than industry average
I recently received a full time offer at a BB for an investment banking role, but I noticed the signing bonus on the offer letter was only $5k.

Associate Promotion - Clawback
I'm a first-year analyst in a very good bulge-bracket group. I've decided to forego recruiting this year since I'm considering trying to do a third year. With the policies at most banks now offering a direct associate promotion after two years, if selected I am considering becoming an associate...

Signing/Relocation Bonus Recapture Agreement Impact
Are concerns related to such recapture agreements, outside of the value of the award and tax implications, valid or does the employer read into questions regarding them as indicators of a troublesome employee? Has anyone heard of an employee signing an agreement that allows the employer to recapture...

Lateral to Top MM Shop and Ask for Signing Bonus?
Should I expect relocation bonus and signing bonus when lateraling from one shop to another (top MM)? If not, is it bad to ask for one? I guess my question really stems from how easy it is to negotiate stuff like this and general compensation when lateraling to a large shop that may be fairly...

I received a FT IBD offer from KBW in one of their satellite offices. Pay is street, but no signing bonus. Does anyone know if it's customary for them to pay a signing/relocation bonus? And is it appropriate to ask if it wasn't in my offer?
IB Signing Bonus question
So WSO conventional wisdom says that, after taxes, the $ 10k signing bonus for IBD analysts is more like $6k. Are the taxes taken out of the bonus up front or do I pay taxes on it at the end of the year? Also, why is the total tax bill so high on just $10k of income?

http://img.ibtimes.com/www/articles/20120420/3311… Robots can replace humans for a variety of jobs, but prostitution seems like a profession that will stay human-only. That may not be the case, however, according to a new study. Researchers envision a future in which robots take the place of...

Sign-on Bonus/Relocation Assistance not paid until job start?
So my bank (BB) HR just emailed me that I wouldn't be getting my signing bonus AKA relocation assistance until my start date which is in September.

Signing bonus - Nothing deducted from taxes
I recently received my signing bonus and noticed that it did not have anything deducted for taxes. I thought that bonuses were taxed very heavily (~40% or so) so will I just have to pay that tax when income tax time comes around? I also get some relocation assistance in the form of a check (not...

Hi guys, Friends of mine got offers from GS London and received no signing bonus (base and relo are standard).

Here's a little something to offend the senses on a Friday afternoon. The genius pictured to the left is Michael Crabtree, a standout wide receiver from Texas Tech.
